Scrolled handholds project at the arm terminals. The saber-shaped front legs have waterleaf carving, carved fur begins just below midpoint. The legs end in animal paw feet that appear to be carved from the solid. The chair frame is made of thick mahogany rails. The sweep rear legs continue above the rails to form the rear stiles. Upholstered in replacement black horsehair (formerly T 77.27).	Upholstered by Sack Conservation Company in black horsehair acquired from Scalamandre per Sack invoice of May 31, 1977 (see T 77.27)	Furniture	17

TRUE	Chest of Drawers		1800-c. 1808	Michael Allison (1773-1855)	New York City	Mahogany, satinwood, light and dark stringing, tulip poplar, white pine, brass hardware.	45 x 45 1/2 x 22 3/4"	Label inside top drawer reads: "M. AL[LISON]/CABINET[MAKER] / NO. 42, VESEY STREET / (NEAR THE BEAR MARKET) / NEW-YORK / Who has a general assortment of warranted / ready made furniture o[n hand.]" with wigglework border. Original oval brasses marked "H J"	Purchase, 1977	Mrs. Elsie E. Bishop Purchase, Frederick W. Stanyer 12/3/76	0		Northeast Auctions, August 5-7, 2011, pg. 144	The chest of four drawers has a deep top drawer with three shallower drawers below, graduated in size from shallow at the top to deep at the bottom. The top drawer is veneered with a central oval panel of figured mahogany outlined with light wood stringing, flanked by inlaid diamond panels of satinwood. Background mahogany veneer on this drawer has mitered corners. The three veneered drawers below are outlined with light wood stringing. The skirt has a central concave element flanked by deep ogees that flow into French feet. The framed top supports a thin mahogany board and has cross-banded edges. A frieze of matched veneer panels separates the top from the upper blade of the large drawer. The back of the chest has a wide vertical batten in the center into which side panels are channeled. Drawer fronts are veneered white pine; drawer sides and bottoms are tulip poplar. Original brasses with eagle and garland design.	Mr. Berry Tracy's notes state, " In New York between 1800 and 1810, a distinctive model of bureaus evolved with a deep top drawer, called by the cabinetmakers a "tablet drawer". This deep drawer was intended for storage of bulky materials such as coverlets and blankets. Since the late 19th century, the drawer has been called by the antiquarians and furniture enthusiasts a blanket drawer, relating it in thought and use to its earlier prototype, the blanket chest, which had a deep upper compartment and a hinged lid. The eyes of the cabinetmaker of neo-classical New York, the deep drawer became the frieze of an entablature analogous in concept to the tablet and cornice of an architectural looking glass or mantle piece. Accordingly, he treated this visually awkward space with currently fashionable, decorative veneer patterns and inlays, making it a successful focal point of the entire bureau. This bureau, which bears the printed label of Michael Allison, shows his address at 42 Vesey Street, where he first opened his shop in 1800. He remained there until 1816 when he moved to 50 Vesey Street. Numerous labeled examples of similar Allison bureaus have appeared and disappeared on the market in the last twenty years. Like the Boscobel examples, they all have eagle brasses and satinwood diamond panels, either stripped or plain and variously inlaid with a rose, lily of the valley, eagle, shell or feather and cross".

The Dolan attribution, first advanced in the Tracy catalogue, is complicated by a couple of similar tables labeled by Allison, which need to be examined for structural comparisons, as do the two labeled Dolan examples at the Museum of the City of New York and Gracie Mansion. Dolan is listed as a cabinetmaker in New York City directories from 1802-1814. From 1815-1824 Dolan ran a hardware store.	Furniture	26

The exterior front has an attached oval frame enclosing a colored engraving of a lady with children at a keyboard organ. A brass hand crank in the upper right corner activates the organ. Four organ stops may be controlled in the lower left corner of the left (I.e., proper right) side of the organ case. A hinged door on that side accesses the song barrel. The organ mechanism has fifteen hammers. Three song barrels or logs, marked "No. 1", "No 2", and "No 3" in black ink on one end are interchangeable by disconnecting the barrel via brass levers. A paper label applied to the underside of the hinged top lists ten melodies for each of the three barrels. The front and back panels of the organ case are removable to access the works.	An organ valued at $8.00 appears in the Dyckman inventory of 1806. It was valued at L35 when shipped aboard the "Commerce" on September 30, 1803.

The original accession worksheet recommends inquiries about whether the wardrobe came from Montclair, N.J., but there is no follow-up.	0			The mahogany wardrobe has a double-door cupboard in the center flanked by separate cupboards, each slightly recessed and accessed by a single door. The cornice frieze is carved in the center with a bow knot and two tassels supporting swags. A bow knot with lightning bolts is carved in each side panel. Rectangular stylized rosettes mark the sides of each of these three panels and the tops of reeded stiles. Additional rosettes mark the bottoms of the reeded stiles. The wardrobe stands on six turned legs, the front four of which are reeded. All end in brass ball feet. Each of the narrow rectangular doors as two panels, one above the other, each covered with brilliantly figured, book-matched mahogany veneers. Each section opens to three fixed shelves above the bottom board of the wardrobe. The wardrobe top is framed with cross banded edges. The back is made of three tulip poplar fielded panels set into the case sides and two middle stiles.	Berry Tracy, Federal Furniture and Decorative Arts at Boscobel, p. 93, wrote "The zenith of American wardrobes in the Boscobel collection is the "winged wardrobe" (70) attributed to the workshop of Duncan Phyfe. In the New York Price Book of 1810 it was, with the winged bookcase, the most expensive piece of furniture of its time. In this rare example are seen the finest elements of Phyfe's work in design and carving. The tablet of the frieze has the carved rosettes, drapery (70A), and thunderbolt motifs seen on Phyfe's sofas and chairs. On the door panels, a studied arrangement of densely figured mahogany flame veneers soars upward as in a holocaust and gives a note of excitement to the otherwise sober, but perfectly elegant, expression of the master."

The mahogany and mahogany veneer work table has a rectangular center section and astragal ends. The hinged top of conforming shape is veneered inside and out and has mahogany cross-banded edges. Rosewood banding outlines the perimeter of the top, the drawers, and the rectangular panels at each side. The top drawer is false; the back of the table has a false façade that duplicates the front. Inside, the table has a hinged and adjustable baize-covered writing surface and compartments for writing materials. A large square drawer, partially covered in front with pleated silk (formerly T 77.3), fits into the center of the table and is suspended on side runners. Reeded "sweep" legs are dovetailed into the bottom of the baluster-turned center shaft and terminate in short, vertical turned feet set into brass caster.	According to Mr. Berry Tracy's notes, the New York Price Books spelled "work table' in two words. Sheraton hyphenated the term ladies work table in 1802 and our modern dictionaries spell it out as one word, defining it as "a table at which work is done; especially a small table with drawers for needlework." The most feminine of the work tables in the Boscobel collection is a classical example of the "pillar and claw," "astragal end," model with an accordion pleated silk "bag" below a handsome case containing compartments for sewing equipment as well as a writing surface. Work tables of this richness and intricacy were the central accoutrement of polite, feminine society. At the appropriate time, the ladies of the household would collectively engage themselves with needlework in a sitting room or parlour, or perhaps with writing a note or reading aloud to each other.

TRUE	Pair of tilt-top stands		1810-25	Unknown	New York region	Mahogany, cherry, brass snaps	26 x 23 x 17 3/4"		Purchase, 1976	The two stands were purchased separately: (a) from Beverly Kelly, Garrison, NY, 10/2/76; (b) from Ronald S. Kane, 1775 Broadway, New York, NY, 11/24/76.	0			The two stands, acquired from different sources, appear to be a pair. Each stand has an oval top. The oval tops are hinged to the shaft by wooden pintails projecting from a cherry (possibly maple) block affixed to the top of the baluster-turned mahogany shaft. The baluster turning is separated from the cylindrical base by a narrow reel turning. Three S-shaped legs are dovetailed into the bottom of the shaft. The legs are reeded on the top and stand on balls applied to the undersides of the bottom scrolled ends. The two tables are made from similarly colored and grained mahogany. All aspects of workmanship appears to be identical from one table to the other: edges of top have the same bevel, cleats are shaped the same, bevel on the underside of the top block matches, reeded and raised panels on the legs match. The ball feet differ slightly from table to table. The brass snaps differ, although each snap appears to be original to the table.		Furniture	37

Skellorn of Manhattan, were sold at Sotheby's on January 24, 1995, Sale 6660, lot 2101.	Set of 12 painted and decorated fancy chairs: consisting of 2 arm chairs and 10 side chairs, bamboo turned with rush seat. Painted ivory with green highlights. Green fabric cushions or "squabs" made of wool and cotton in a moiré pattern with narrow green, blue and gold twisted braid (reproduction fabric, see T 77.6). The turned front legs form a narrow neck at top and taper from a wide diameter at the top to slightly out swept ball feet.	Mr. Berry Tracy wrote the following about the fancy chairs in the mansion: " By 1805, painted chairs and settees of Sheraton derivation had superseded the common Windsors in popularity and production. They were admired not only for their beauty, lightness and strength but because they could be had much cheaper than mahogany chairs. They were sometimes made of curled maple, but usually highly ornamented by skilled hands on either red, black, bright green, or straw colored ground, and had caned or rushed seats. Mrs. Dyckman apparently favored the fancy furniture in the initial period of furnishing her home, for a bill of 1807 from William Palmer in New York indicates that she purchased 12 bamboo fancy chairs and in 1808, a bill from Henry Dean shows she purchased 12 cross back green and gold fancy chairs with two settees to match. The making of fancy painted furniture was a separate trade from that of working in mahogany. The tradition of painted decoration continued in handwork of a different character in the 1820s as seen in the Livingston family benches and later the Dyckman/Cruger chairs."	Furniture	18

The bottom board is screwed to the undersides of the sides with what appear to be machine-made screws. The folding mahogany stand is modern (probably 1875-1925) and not original to tray.	According to Mr. Berry Tracy's notes: "Mahogany butler's trays and stands are found listed in all the New York Price books from 1796 through 1817, as well as in most early 19th century inventories, including that of Dyckman. Perhaps because of their heavy usage and vulnerability, American survivals are seldom seen. The butler's tray and stand in the Boscobel collection emerged only recently under the eaves of the attic of a Hudson River Federal period homestead, where it had survived the ravages of recent generations. It fits the descriptions of the New York Price books perfectly."	Furniture	46

The Henderson portraits are now attributed to John Watson (1685-1768) on the basis of a notation in Watson's account book in the collection of the New York Historical Society. Mary Black also speculated that Watson himself removed his sketch of the two girls from Dr. Henderson's portrait, placing them in Mrs. Henderson's composition instead.

An oval object, possibly meant to be a hat, lies on the ground behind and to the right of the subject. Features of the face and dress appear to have been drawn from the full-sized Dyckman portrait of c. 1785 (A 62.2). The painting exhibits very modest skill. The subject's legs are anatomically incorrect, the fingers unnaturally long and straight, and the face and overcoat executed in outline. The modern frame is painted brown and has a silver liner.	File photographs show the painting in an ornate gilded frame. This painting may represent a very late copy that romanticizes Dyckman, his library, and his association with "Boscobel" and/or the "Old Royal Oak." The historic and artistic value of this painting is uncertain. Mary Black did not comment on the painting when she evaluated and wrote about the other paintings in the early 1980s.	Paintings	0

TRUE	Dinner Service		1800-1840	Unknown	China	Porcelain	See file		Purchase, 1961	Purchase, William C. Kennedy 6/10/61	0	New Haven Colony Historical Society, an exhibition of China Trade Porcelain; p.49		Blue and white dinner service: Nanking, China trade dinner service with Fitzhugh border. Pattern shows variations of typical Nanking pattern with Fitzhugh butterfly border, showing the life cycle of the silk worm. Cups are scalloped and highlighted with gold edges.	The Fitzhugh border referred to in this case is considered the most unusual. It is made up of varied diapered sections seperated by butterflies and stylized flowers, with Greek frets and leafed branchlets, and an inner border of hexogonal forms. The border referred to in the other card is more commonly seen in Nanking ware. The exhibition of China Trade Porcelain Catologue for March, 1968 has a definition for Nanking as follows: "Underglazed blue and white, varying greatly in the quality of the porcelain and in the design of the borders and panels. It generally appears thinner, less rough and more carefully decorated than Canton. Gold over-glaze is sometimes used as highlighting. Two central and distinct designs are observed. [1] Island design, 3 islands, 3 boats and birds flying in formation. A houseboat approaching an island and a man on the island engaged in fishing. [2] Bridge design, with single span bridge, a solitary man on the bridge, and a small boat carrying one man in addition to several islands, trees and buildings. There are,however, several variant designs which fall in neither category,especially on bowls, teapots and the like where and irregular surface had to be decorated. The two stripe border has an outer, dark blue close mesh network with a spot in the corner of each mesh. The inner stripe consists of a close row of spear-like posts alternating with round topped posts. This "Nanking Border" is common on Fitzhugh as on Nanking porcelain.	Ceramics	0

Each has a yoked crest rail above a solid vasiform splat set into a stay rail. The rear posts have columnar turnings with balls above and balusters below. The"trumpet"-turned front legs have baluster turnings at the tops of the legs. They terminate in offset turned pad feet. The ring-and-ball turned front stretcher has elongated balls at each end. Two side rungs and one rear rung brace the legs. Round tenons at the tops of the legs are doweled into flat blocks which form part of the seat frame. Rush seat. Painted black.

John Bailey of Fishkill and New York City was a silversmith as well as a brazier. He produced and signed the sword carried by George Washington during the Revolution. John Bailey is listed in N.Y.C. directories as Cutler and Brass founder from 1789 to 1806 on Maiden Lane.

This certificate was made under the Reign of George II in the county of York. The second is a photpstat of John Bailey's sign when he was working as a cutler in New York, dated 1790.

Two lamps are similar but are not a pair. A is located on right side of mantel and b is located on left.	See Thwing, Flickering Flames pp. 68-70; Wolfe, Brandy, Balloons and Lamps, index. The following needs to be re-written. Although treated as a pair in the collection, these are not really a true pair. Winchester, Alice. Collectors and Collections: Straight, 1961. P47. She states as follows: The inventor of the Rumford lamps was born Benjamin Thompson at Woodburn, MA in 1753, became a tory expatriate during the Revolution and entered the service of the elector of Batavia. He was made Count Rumford in reward for his extraordinary civil and scientific achievements, including the invention of various lighting devices, of which only this type is associated with his name. The flat ribbon wicks used in these lamps are a simplification of the semi-tubular shape he recommended, and the glass chimneys they require owe a debt to Argand. Efforts to overcome the problem of feeding viscous whale oil or vegetable oils to the wick are evident in the high placed resevoir, for gravity flow was more dependabe than capillary attraction. These lamps, of foreign origin, were limited in use in America after 1800.	Lighting	0

Dutton. P. 254, ill. Explains uses and origins of barber's bowl with two illustrations of similar bowls dated 1750-70. Antiques Magazine, June 1972, pp. 1019-1022. By Joan Severa. This interesting article on ceramic barber's bowls reminds us that Don Quixote mistook a barber's basin for a legendary gold helmet. He spied it on the head of a barber(who was wearing it to keep his new hat dry) "and being new-scowered it glittered half a league off". Quixote attacked the poor barber, frightened him away from his bowl, and for some time wore it himself as a helmet.		Brass shaving bowl: referred to as a shaving collar or barber's bowl. Has flaring edge with semi-circular piece cut out and cuff foot.	Although these bowls were referred to as "shaving basons" in the early 19th century in this country, they were also used by Doctors as bleeding bowls.

In 1919, The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (now the Albright-Knox Art Gallery) purchased the painting from her daughter, Eliza Corne Cruger (1841-1933). On December 18, 1943, the portrait was then sold by the museum at Parke-Benet Galleries, New York. Artist and writer Ilse Bischof purchased the painting and brought it to her country house in Vermont. When the house was purchased in 1984, the painting passed to its current owner, Timotheus R. Pohl.	0			"Portrait of James Ogilvie" (1775-1820)	Ogilvie was a Scotsman who emigrated to Virginia in 1794 where he taught elocution. He also toured the eastern seaboard and gave public lectures. The 1881 edition of Bolton's History of the County of Westchester calls Ogilvie "the intimate friend of Mrs. Staats Dyckman and…A frequent visitor at Boscobel House, and teacher of Elocution in New York City." James Ogilvie (ca. 1775–1820) was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, immigrated to Virginia at the age of nineteen, and soon became professor of humanity and belles lettres at the Fredericksburg Academy. He subsequently opened his own academy near Milton, where he taught Thomas Jefferson Randolph, and he later began a school in Richmond. TJ praised Ogilvie’s oratorical skills, gave him a set of the works of Cicero, and granted him access to the library at Monticello. Ogilvie retired from teaching in 1809, settled for a time in Kentucky, and then traveled throughout the country as a professional lecturer. He eventually returned to Britain to attempt to claim the lapsed earldom of Findlater. After this endeavor failed, Ogilvie committed suicide in Aberdeen (DAB; DNB; ODNB; PTJ, 28:401–4; Ogilvie, Philosophical Essays, to which are subjoined Copious Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and a Supplementary Narrative; with an Appendix [Philadelphia, 1816], esp. the separately paginated, autobiographical “Supplementary Narrative”; Richmond Enquirer, 10 Apr. 1821).

Hart. Women by those names occur in Christ Church of Poughkeepsie records of 1910.	0		Related easy chairs: The closest example is an easy chair sold by Bernard & S. Dean Levy Inc., illustrated and discussed in Mark Anderson and Robert F. Trent, “A Catalogue of American Easy Chairs,” American Furniture 1993, ed. Luke Beckerdite (Milwaukee, Wisc.: Chipstone Foundation, 1993), figs. 24-25, pp. 226-27. Notable similarities include the stiff and vertical shape of the C scroll arms, use of laminations to fill out the vertical cone and horizontal arm roll, and use of a large pine board to form the chair sides. According to Dean Levy, the published chair was known to the authors through photographs only; its current location is unknown. Other similar easy chairs include numbers 123 and 124 in Charles F. Montgomery, American Furniture: The Federal Period (New York: Viking Press, 1966).	The front leg turnings are a long inverted baluster above a shorter inverted baluster, separated from the top block by a reel. Other New York furniture with this profile includes a set of armchairs made in 1812 by Lannuier for the Common Council Chamber, New York City Hall (Peter M. Kenny, Frances F. Bretter, and Ulrich Leben, Honoré Lannuier: Cabinetmaker from Paris [New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1998], pl. 62) and a sofa attributed by Jones to Phyfe (Edward V. Jones, “Charles-Honoré Lannuier and Duncan Phyfe, Two Creative Geniuses of Federal New York,” American Art Journal 9, no. 1 [May 1977]: fig. 10). The French press at Boscobel (F 76.27, Tracy cat. no. 69) also has similar leg turnings.The easy chair legs stand on brass casters, which appear to be original. That on the proper right front leg has been reinstalled; the earlier screw holes are visible. The proper right front leg has split where the front seat rail tenon enters. The split stops abruptly where the decorative leg turning begins, but grain character continues into the turned section of the leg affirming that it is not a replacement. The joint has been glued relatively recently. Metal straps nailed in place have been added around both front leg stiles to secure the joints. The seat cushion is an upholstered slip seat. The original foundation upholstery remains and includes coarse woven burlap, stuffing of horsehair and tow, and linen. The underside is covered with another piece of burlap, which is an unusual addition but seams to be original. This coarser fabric is similar to the side and back panels of the chair, visible through the frame from the outsides of the chair. As reupholstered in the twentieth century, this chair also had a separate, 3-1/2 inch-high boxed seat cushion. The chair likely had no additional seat cushion originally, since the present upholstered slip seat offers adequate comfort and addition of another cushion raises the seat height significantly higher than the lower, vertical cones of the C scroll arms. Generations of use have probably flattened the loft of the slip seat an inch or so. Removal of the seat cushion exposes a white pine deck nailed to a seat rabbet formed by strips of wood nailed to the insides of the seat rails. A 9-1/2 inch circular wooden lid plugs the center hole. When delivered to Boscobel, the lid was nailed in place. Those nails were removed on September 4, 2009. Wood grain of the lid does not appear to align with that of the deck, although oxidation and tool marks on the underside are generally consistent. The lighter color of the lid may be ascribed to regular washing of the deck but not of the lid. If the lid is not original to this chair, it likely has been associated with the chair for many generations. Originally, the lid probably had a small piece of fabric attached to the center to facilitate removal. All evidence of the fabric is gone, but the nail shaft remains. The undersides of the front and rear seat rails show clear evidence of two rails running front-to-back. The rails were almost certainly rabbeted on the insides to create a track for a sliding frame to hold a chamber pot. A description printed in the 1811 Journeymen Cabinet and Chair Makers Pennsylvania Book of Prices notes a “slider under the frame, to draw out behind, with the pan,” which appears to describe the missing element in this chair. The chamber pot, probably made of pewter, dropped into a hole cut into the sliding frame; the pot was lifted out for emptying and cleaning. (A representative pewter example touchmarked by Frederick Bassett (1740-1800) of New York is in the Yale collection, acc. no. 1931.293. It is 8 inches tall; the diameter of the rim is 12 inches.) A thin strip of wood nailed front-to-back above and inside the missing proper left rabbeted rail remains in place. This single strip probably stabilized the chamber pot by running along the top of the pot rim when it was slid out from underneath the chair. The undercutting of the rear rail appears to be original for several reasons: 1) both front and rear rails exhibit the same square nail holes and glue residue, indicating the original attachment; 2) saw kerfs of the undercutting appear to match saw kerfs where the rear seat rail was notched; and 3) oxidation on the underside surfaces of the rail and the undercut portion appear consistent. The undercutting of the rear rail may have been necessary to allow the chamber pot rim to pass underneath the rail when it was slid back for emptying. The second undercut notch in the center of the rear rail may have provided room for a chamber pot lid of some kind. Both possibilities are speculative since details of the sliding frame and the pot are irretrievably lost. The height of the front rail to the floor is approximately 10-5/8 inches, whereas the height of the rear rail is almost 11 inches. This discrepancy may have been caused by differently designed casters installed in front and rear. It may be resolved by removal of the casters to determine original lengths of the wood legs.	Conservation issues: Preservation of the foundation upholstery is essential. The back and wings are presently partially detached because of wear from original tacking to the frame. Additionally, linen has worn away from portions of the C scrolls, exposing the hair and tow stuffing. These areas need to be stabilized and protected from further damage. The split in the proper front leg can be reglued, but it appears to be stable as is. The later metal straps are unsightly, but they do not interfere with presentation of the chair. When slip-covered, they will be invisible. If the chair is shown without a slip cover, these repairs can be noted for viewers. Removal of the straps will leave scars that would also require explanation. At some point it may make sense to reconstruct the missing slider and tracks based on existing physical evidence and related examples. A slip cover should probably be made of some kind of printed cotton, tailored to display the wings and C scroll arm shapes, and having a deep ruffle along the entire base that would have hidden the chamber pot, slider rails, and most of the legs.
